Abstract
Description
Technical Field

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0038] The following is combined with Figure 1-13 The present invention is further described with reference to the embodiments, wherein the figure shows a static diagram of the support arm moving to a horizontal state:
[0039] like Figure 1 As shown, a sow assisted delivery device includes: a massage unit 1 for massaging the sow's breasts and having multiple massage postures, which is used to massage the sow in three delivery stages: no uterine contraction, weak uterine contraction, and exertion, so as to improve the delivery effect.
[0040] like Figure 2-Figure 5As shown, the massage unit 1 includes a mounting base 101 for mounting the modified massage unit 1 in a "F" shape. The mounting base 101 is rotatably connected to a rotating base 102 on the side away from the mounting surface. The end of the rotating base 102 is fixedly connected to a massage actuator 104 having a cavity 103. The massage actuator 104 is made of silicone to reduce damage to the sow. The massage actuator 104 has a massage surface 105. The massage surface 105 can be provided with multiple protrusions to improve the massage effect. A massage motor 106 for driving the rotating base 102 is provided in the mounting base 101. The massage motor 106 has a harmonic reducer to prevent the massage actuator 104 from rotating too fast. The output end of the massage motor 106 drives the rotating base 102 to rotate, and the rotating base 102 drives the massage actuator 104 to rotate so that the massage surface 105 rotates and kneads the base of the sow's breast, which is used for massage when uterine contractions are not initiated.
[0041] Two movable kneading claws 107 are arranged facing each other at the top of the cavity 103. The kneading claws 107 are made of silicone to reduce damage to the sow. A driving part 108 is arranged inside the rotating seat 102. The driving part 108 drives the two kneading claws 107 to knead the base of the sow's nipples back and forth, which is used for massage when there is weak uterine contraction.
[0042] A connecting column 1021 extends vertically from the bottom of the rotating seat 102. The diameter of the connecting column 1021 is smaller than the outer diameter of the rotating seat 102. The massage actuator 104 is fixedly connected to the surface of the connecting column 1021. An installation cavity 1022 is formed in the rotating seat 102. The inner wall of the installation cavity 1022 is fixedly connected to a fixing plate 1023. The output end of the massage motor 106 is fixedly connected to the fixing plate 1023. The inner bottom wall of the installation cavity 1022 is provided with a limiting groove 1024 that passes through the connecting column 1021. The limiting groove 1024 is adapted to the connecting column 1021. The movable end of the driving part 108 passes through the limiting groove 1024 and is fixedly connected to the kneading claw 107.
[0043] The driving part 108 includes a sliding rod 1081 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the installation cavity 1022, and the surface of the sliding rod 1081 is slidably connected to two driving rods 1082, and the bottom end of the driving rod 1082 passes through the limiting groove 1024 and is fixedly connected to the kneading claw 107. The surface of the sliding rod 1081 is sleeved with a spring 1083, and the two ends of the spring 1083 are fixedly connected to the opposite surfaces of the two driving rods 1082. The maximum distance between the two driving rods 1082 is equal to the length of the spring 1083 under normal conditions without deformation. When the spring 1083 is compressed and reset, due to the restriction of the driving rod 1082, the spring 1083 cannot be in a stretched state, thereby reducing the phenomenon of driving the driving rod 1082 to move back and forth after it is reset. The inner bottom wall of the installation cavity 1022 rotates two rotating parts 1084 respectively. When the two rotating parts 1084 rotate, they intermittently drive the two driving rods 1082 to move toward each other.
[0044] The rotating member 1084 is a block with a circular cross section. The inner bottom wall of the installation cavity 1022 is rotatably connected to the rotating shaft 1085. The rotating member 1084 is eccentrically fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 1085. The side of the driving rod 1082 close to the rotating member 1084 is in the shape of an arc surface. The circular rotating member 1084 forms a streamlined contact with the surface of the driving rod 1082 in the shape of an arc surface, thereby improving the stability of its pushing. The inner wall of the installation cavity 1022 is fixedly connected with a partition 1086. The lower surface of the partition 1086 rotates two driving gears 1087 and two driven gears 1088 respectively. The two driven gears 1088 are meshed with the driving gear 1087. The top ends of the two rotating shafts 1085 are coaxially fixedly connected to the two driven gears 1088 respectively. The sliding rod 108 1 is provided with an avoidance hole for the passage of the rotating shaft 1085. The upper surface of the partition 1086 is fixedly connected to the driving motor 1089. The output end of the driving motor 1089 passes through the lower surface of the partition 1086 and is fixedly connected to the driving gear 1087. The output end of the rotating motor 310 drives the driving gear 1087 to rotate, thereby driving the two driven gears 1088 to rotate. The driven gear 1088 drives the rotating shaft 1085 to rotate, thereby driving the rotating member 1084 to rotate eccentrically, so that the rotating member 1084 intermittently pushes the two driving rods 1082, drives the two driving rods 1082 to intermittently approach each other and then resets under the action of the spring 1083, so that the two kneading claws 107 repeatedly knead the base of the sow's nipples, which is used for massage when there is weak uterine contraction.
[0045] like Figure 1 As shown, it also includes a delivery bed 2 and an adjusting component 3 connected to the delivery bed 2 and used to support the massage unit 1.

The massage unit 1 is fixedly connected to the moving end of the electric linear slide 304. Two sets of electric linear slides 304 are set with the massage unit 1, corresponding to the upper and lower breasts of the sow respectively. The electric linear slide 3 04 drives the massage unit 1 to move longitudinally. A slide groove 305 is provided on the surface of the arc-shaped plate 303. The inner wall of the slide groove 305 is slidably connected to the arc-shaped gear ring 306. The electric linear slide 304 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the arc-shaped gear ring 306.

The output end of the output motor 309 The output gear 308 is fixedly connected to the frame 307 and driven by the output end of the output motor 309 to rotate, thereby driving the arc gear ring 306 to move along the slide 305, thereby driving the electric linear slide and the massage unit 1 to move. A limit groove 1024 is also provided on the surface of the arc plate 303. The limit block 311 is slidably connected in the limit groove 1024. The limit block 311 is fixedly connected to the electric linear slide 304 to improve its movement stability and limit its movement stroke. One of the support arms 301 The end of the massage unit 1 is fixedly connected to a rotating motor 310, and the output end of the rotating motor 310 passes through the corresponding support arm 301 and is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 302. The output end of the rotating motor 310 drives the rotating shaft 302 to rotate, thereby driving the arc plate 303 to rotate, and then driving the electric linear slide 304 to rotate, so that the angle of the massage unit 1 is offset to adjust its posture. By arranging a rotatable arc plate 303, an electric linear slide 304, and the cooperation of the arc rack and the output gear 308, the position of the massage unit 1 can be accurately adjusted.
[0047] like Figure 3 As shown, the massage actuator 104 is in the shape of a hollow quarter sphere. By setting the massage actuator 104 in the center, the base of the sow's breast can be supported. At the same time, the electric linear slide 304 and the output motor 309 can drive the massage actuator 104 to lift the sow's breast vertically and push it back horizontally, which is used to assist the sow in giving birth when exerting force.

The output end of the driving cylinder 408 drives the flip rack 405 to move, and then drives the flip gear 406 to rotate, and then drives the transmission shaft 401 to rotate. The transmission shaft 401 drives the two support arms 301 to rotate around the transmission shaft 401, thereby realizing the flipping of the adjustment component 3 and the massage unit 1, wherein the driving cylinder 408 has a self-locking function.
[0049] like Figure 9 As shown, the support arm 301 includes a sleeve 3011 rotatably connected to the end of the fixed seat 2011, and the inner wall of the sleeve 3011 is slidably connected to the sliding arm 3012, and the end of the sliding arm 3012 away from the sleeve 3011 is fixedly connected to the connecting ear 3013, and the surface of the sleeve 3011 is fixedly connected to the electric push rod 3014, and the output end of the electric push rod 3014 is fixedly connected to the connecting ear 3013.

[0053] Specifically, when uterine contractions are not initiated, the visible light camera 701 calculates the motion energy of the abdominal area using the optical flow method. If the motion energy is lower than a threshold, such as 0.3 J / cm2 , it is determined that there is no significant uterine contraction movement; infrared thermal imager 702: monitors the temperature of the base of the breast. If the temperature does not rise significantly, such as ΔT<0.5℃, it serves as an auxiliary judgment; depth sensor 703: detects the degree of abdominal bulge. If there is no periodic bulge, such as amplitude <5mm, it supports the judgment that uterine contraction has not started; microphone array 9: no typical labor sound characteristics, such as 200-500Hz pulse density <5 times / second.
[0054] When there is a weak contraction, the visible light camera 701: optical flow method detects regular but low motion energy in the abdominal area, such as 0.3-1.0J / cm 2 ; Infrared thermal imager 702: The temperature at the base of the breast begins to rise, such as 0.5℃≤ΔT≤1.0℃; Depth sensor 703: Detects periodic abdominal contractions, such as an amplitude of 5-15mm and a frequency of 0.5-1.0Hz; Microphone array 9: There is no typical straining sound or the sound characteristics are not obvious.
[0055] When exerting force, the visible light camera 701 observes strong and sustained abdominal contraction, such as movement energy > 1.0 J / cm 2 And accompanied by a state of physical tension; infrared thermal imager 702: rectal temperature rises significantly in a short period of time, such as ΔT ≥ 0.8 ° C / min; depth sensor 703: detects obvious pelvic displacement, such as sinking amplitude ≥ 15 mm and strong abdominal contraction, such as amplitude > 15 mm; microphone array 9: captures typical strain voiceprint features, such as a pulse density of 200-500 Hz ≥ 5 times / second, lasting for more than 3 seconds.
[0056] Working Principle: When using this intelligent sow delivery monitoring and assisted delivery device, the user first places the sow on the delivery bed 2 and lies on her side. The multispectral camera array 7 identifies the position of the sow's breasts. Based on the identification result, the flip component 4 and the adjustment component 3 work together to make the massage unit 1 correspond to the upper and lower breasts near the sow's head and apply slight pressure to them. When it is detected that the sow is not in the state of initiating uterine contractions, the massage electric action is activated, causing the massage actuator 104 to rotate and massage the base of the sow's breasts. The same method is used to massage the upper and lower breasts of each column in turn.
[0057] When it is detected that the sow is in a weak uterine contraction state, the drive motor 1089 is activated, causing the two kneading claws 107 to knead the base of the sow's nipples at a high frequency;
[0058] When it is detected that the sow is in a state of exerting force, the monitoring equipment can identify whether the sow is in a state of exerting force or an intermittent state, so that the electric linear slide 304 and the output motor 309 can be activated, driving the massage actuator 104 to lift the sow's breast vertically and push it back horizontally, cooperating with the sow's exertion and improving the effect of midwifery.
[0059] The embodiments disclosed in the present invention are preferred embodiments, but are not limited to them. Ordinary technicians in this field can easily understand the spirit of the present invention based on the above embodiments and make different extensions and changes. As long as they do not deviate from the spirit of the present invention, they are all within the scope of protection of the present invention.
